I don't know of any PHP bulletin boards that use flat files. I database is
far better for storing data like this anyway. Ever seen a UBB board with
over 1,000,000 posts? Doing a simple search on it crashes the server...
The next version of phpBB will have support for MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, ODBC
and Oracle.
